ASTM A234 pipe API standard 650 ground supported tanks

The API Std 650 standard published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) is designed to provide the petroleum industry with welded steel tanks for use in the API standard 650 ground supported tanks storage of petroleum products and other liquid products commonly handled and stored by the various branches of the petroleum industry.

Define the welding sequence of API standard 650 ground supported tanks bottom plate: the welding sequence of metal vertical storage tank shall be carried out according to the procedure required by the welding scheme. Spot welding shall be consistent with the formal welding requirements, and no spot welding shall be carried out for the weld not welded. Back bar should be added to prevent deformation when welding the full length seam of middle plate, butt joint of edge plate and turtle shell joint.

Production Weld Tests
Production weld test plates shall be welded for API standard 650 ground supported tanks primary-component butt-welded shell plates when welding procedure qualifications are required to be impact tested per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. The number of production weld tests shall be based on the requirements of Q.6.6.3 and Q.6.6.4. The locations impact tested (i.e., HAZ and/or weld deposits) shall likewise be the same as required for weld procedure qualifications per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. Weld testing shall be in accordance with Q.6.6.5. Test plates shall be made from plates produced only from the heats that are used to produce the shell plates for the large welded steel tank.

The trend of international shipping development of large-scale ships and strategic joint ventures puts forward higher requirements for modern ports. Modern ports no longer use the general cargo throughput as a measure sign, and container throughput will become the main sign to measure the role and status of modern ports. The average container capacity in 2000 is 3200teu, and it is expected to be 5500teu in 2020.
